Exactly. And that "small nod" is what we call admitting an error in judgment — which leads me to believe that you would also admit to any larger error. This is something Musk and a legion of other so-called reporters could stand to learn. Oh — but he didn't err, did he? He set up the story to torpedo the product. Shame, shame. And shame on the New York Times.

I was making a small nod in the direction of doubting the car's ability to do this drive. Clearly it can do it.

I'm confused. I don't think Brian was admitting an error of his own. He was helping to expose the inconsistency of the NYT's reporter's "reporting" with Tesla's data regarding his trip. The NYT has never been a paragon of journalistic integrity, and I am happy that this is being exposed at least in this case. Or did I miss something?

Kol hakavod for rushing to admit your error, Brian. Glad to know that "journalistic ethics" is not a complete oxymoron.
